Parameters of physical development are known to be informative indicators of health status and adaptation processes, as well as markers of social, hygienic and environmental well-being both in healthy children and those with various pathological conditions. The purpose of this article was to study the characteristics of the physical status of children with intellectual disabilities. Materials and methods. We examined 168 children of primary school age (7–11 years) studying in secondary schools of Krasnoyarsk. The subjects were divided into two groups: the first group included 54 children with intellectual disability (F70, F71 according to ICD-10), the second group included 114 children without intellectual disability. Anthropometric characteristics and level of physical development were studied taking into account regional centile tables. The harmony of physical development was assessed using the Quetelet index. Results. The physical development of children with intellectual disability is characterized by a lag in anthropometric characteristics compared with intellectually healthy children: body length was 133.0 and 137.3 cm (p = 0.048), head circumference 51.0 and 52.5 cm (p = 0.002) respectively. The first group also had a statistically significantly lower percentage of children with harmonious physical development (37 %, p = 0.045) against the background of pronounced disharmony (underweight in 31.5 %, excess body weight in 31.5 % of children) compared to their healthy peers (harmonious development in 55 %, underweight in 16 %, overweight in 29 % of children). Further research into the constitution of children with intellectual disability can form the basis for the development of corrective measures, taking into account the specific typological characteristics of children in this group.

We assessed the main anthropometric indicators of physical development (height, body weight and chest circumference) in primary school children living and studying in the city and their peers living and studying in the countryside. We carried out children's medical records analysis with an assessment of health groups structure. It has been established that the physical development indicators in primary school rural children are statistically significantly higher than those of urban children in both boys and girls. Chronic diseases are more common among urban children aged 7–10 years. The obtained results confirm the need for a special approach to physical development assessing of children and adolescents living in cities and the countryside, as well as the need to develop preventive measures aimed at improving and preserving the children health.

The beginning of children’s school education is a potential risk of morphofunctional and psycho-physiological disorders in the body because of the significant reduction in daily physical activity, the change in day regimen, emotional and intellectual stress, which are often inadequate for the age-related psycho-physiological capabilities of schoolchildren. In this paper, we analyzed the literature on the development of modern children of primary school age according to the results of the assessment of morphological, functional and mental indicators. The identification of a general trend in the development of primary school-aged children is necessary for determination and development of health-saving programs to implement in the system of modern education. A review of data on the development of younger school children over the past 20 years shows an increase in the number of children with digressions in physical development, deterioration in physical fitness, delay of biological age from actual age, stress of the cardiovascular system, decrease in lung capacity and muscle strength. This pattern is manifested regardless of the region of residence and the nationality of children. There is an increase in the number of children with learning difficulties. Among the reasons for these changes, researchers highlight the complexity of the educational program, physical inactivity, the delay of physical development and, at the same time, medical and social successes of the state, allowing preserving the life of newborns even with somatic and neurological abnormalities. In connection with the identified trend of development of modern primary school children, the measures are needed to optimize children’s learning activities by the following criteria: level of physical activity, intensity of intellectual loads, rest mode.

The problem of the specifics of correctional work with primary school children with disabilities is relevant due to the need for the search for new effective forms of assistance in the development and compensation of disability of this heterogeneous group of children. The knowledge of the features of correctional work with this group of children of primary school age will allow us to increase the effectiveness of correctional work. The purpose of this empirical study is to substantiate the effectiveness of the correctional program aimed at developing the attention of children with disabilities (a group with intellectual disability). The methods of educational experiment, the “Correction task” technique, “Schulte Table” and statistical method were used. The author of the article created the program “Educational Development” for children with disabilities (intellectual disability). The aim of the program was to correct attention of children with intellectual disability. The objectives of the program were to improve span of attention and concentration of this group of children. The results of the theoretical and empirical study of the initial and secondary level of attention properties in primary school children with disabilities are presented. The process of attention of primary school children with disabilities (a group with intellectual disability) has specific disorders, such as insufficiency of concentration, stability and capacity, accompanied by mental instability. As a result of the correctional work, statistically significant differences in the properties of attention concentration and stability and performance efficiency were revealed. Thus, the effectiveness of regular and systematic correction of the attention process of children with disabilities (a group with intellectual disability) is justified by comparing the results of the initial and final diagnosis and identifying significant positive changes. The process of attention of primary school children with disabilities (a group with intellectual disability) has specific disorders, such as insufficiency of concentration, stability and span of attention, accompanied by mental instability. The prospect of the research is to identify changes in cognitive operations as a result of the correction of attention ability of this group of children.
